Social Madness: Still time to support our Oregon competitors

There's still time to support the three local brands representing Portland in the Business Journal's Social Madness competition.

In the small company category, Portland-based online retailer The Clymb, with a score of 34,479, continues to dominate Interactive Marketing of Atlanta, which as of Friday morning had a score of 5,616.

Among medium-sized companies, Leatherman Tool Group is ahead of Minneapolis NBC television affiliate KARE 11, by a margin of 9,586 to 4,521.

Benchmade Knife Co., also competing in the medium company category, however, needs a lot of love to overtake Ala.-based coffee distributor Red Diamond, which is ahead of the Oregon City-based toolmaker by about 26,500 votes.

You can help all our local competitors by casting a vote for them and connecting with them on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn via the Social Madness competition website. All votes cast during this round of competition will carry forward, so your efforts will help give The Clymb and Leatherman, which appear headed to victory, a strong start in their Round 3 matchups.

And, who knows, maybe a last minute surge will give Benchmade the lift it needs.
